Signature Dishes

  • Queen's Big Breakfast

    Serves two, with a wide variety of ingredients that can be paired with avocado, smoked salmon, halloumi, and hash browns; it may leave two people very full, but diners with bigger appetites may still find it insufficient, and it is somewhat oily overall.

  • Build-your-own Brunch Platter

    You can assemble a brunch platter from a full page of ingredients; the mushrooms and eggs are relatively generous, it works well for sharing with friends, and the seasoning is generally on the lighter side.

  • Acai Bowl

    Served cold, with acai sorbet topped with plenty of fruit, oats, and other toppings; it has a light sweetness and tastes somewhat like a fruit smoothie.

  • Pulled Stewed Pork Burger

    The stewed pork is shredded, the burger bun is fragrant, and the greens are plentiful and refreshing; overall, it is somewhat like a tuna burger.

  • Flat White

    Neither bitter nor sour, with a smooth taste.
